Like many others I want to have EPG on my satellite receiver and WebGrab++ seemed like great tool.
Since I'm also lazy I don't want to do all the hard work of channel mapping, editing configurations, etc.. over and over again.
Modifying/maintaining one "grab" configuration is not that much of a deal, but problems rise when you have multiple configurations to run. Constantly copy/pasting site keys, updating inis & xmls, checking paths. Unacceptable.
What I also learned was that many others have same problems.
So I decided to create (hopefully) simple tool to do all the heavy lifting for me and other people with same problems.
Minimum requirements are Windows with .NET 4.6.2 or greater installed. Other OS not supported.
Application is open sourced and available at
https://github.com/shaxxx/EPGUtils/releases
While app is simple to use you'll probably have hard time figuring out how to use the app, and what it does without some kind of tutorial, manual. I'll try to create something when times allows me.
Cheers.
Thanks, great tool !!
This is a pretty damn good tool. Sometimes I feel the documentation section of this site is like reading Chinese but this makes grabbing Webgrabplus easier...
Thanks
I guess it takes some time to guess how app works and what it does.
I was able to find some time to create some kind of tutorial/overview to get you started.

Very nice app can praise you for the work
This is a really great help for putting together channels lists from different ini files...thanks.

I created a test xml and put it in the config folder, it reads it but it doesn't seem to use it, I understood that you can create a new config file with the tool, but that doesn't work either.

The problem is two empty files in siteini.pack/Canada/
Delete
sportsnet.ca.ini
sportsnet.ca.channels.xml
After this procedure, EPG_ConfigMaker will run and create new configurations.
@mat8861 please remove these files from the directory or post the correct versions.
Currently these files have no entries they are empty inside zero lines of code.
OMG , now it works!
Removed also because are available in other siteinis
Hello. I did everything as in the video, but when I try to execute the configuration, an error appears. Help decide.

I am not able to add or create or edit the current configurations.
I have reinstalled all versions and different computers and the same error is displayed.
